    " Xbox 360 & Playstation 3 & Wii I could actually completely see it being on all three "

    Impossible.  How would they make the degrade the game to make it work for the Wii?  I could see a different version of Persona 5 coming to the Wii, much like how Modern Warfare 2 is going on the DS, but I can't see it being the same version.  Practically all games that release on Xbox 360 and PS3 never include the Wii for the extra work and technical issues that would entail.

    Both are correct spellings, you know. "
    And Personas is actually the spelling used in the games. So... yeah. If anything, it's more correct. :P

    What's wrong with it being multi platform with the PS3 and 360?

    @Yukoei: An "exclusive" PS3 game can't go to the Xbox 360 if it was never actually exclusive in the first place?
     
    And how is it "not the 360's type of game"? Has the Xbox 360 ever had a game like Persona? No, so you don't know whether 360 owners would be interested in it. There are a fair number of JRPG fans on the system though, and a number of JRPGs as well.
    But what makes the PlayStation 3 any more suitable? There's no evidence that the series would perform any better or worse on the system. Previous MegaTen games have sold on the PlayStation 2, not the PlayStation 3. Many PS3's can't even play those games. The only systems with a guaranteed audience are the ones that have already had games on them and proved themselves as a viable platform. Atlus have not yet established themselves on either platform, so both of them are pretty much a crapshoot.

    Since the next SMT will be portable my gut feeling is that Persona 5 will be portable as well, as much as I really don't want it to be.

    ps2 and psp only would actually make the most profit 
    because if anyone is thinking that persona on the ps3 means like killzone 2 graphics they are out of their fucking mind.
    you will never see an atlus game that is a huge graphical powerhouse. artistically great yes super amazing graphics never.
    and if anyone says demon's souls atlus is only publishing it they did not make it.

    all consoles. but knowing the devs, they will probably have it come out on the PS2 again or PSP.  PS3 development costs are too high and the game is too gay for the 360, as in too japanese.  
    But the basic rule for making a persona game now-a-days, make it on the console with the biggest button for pressing OK.

    @spaded: Whoa, whoa, whoa.  How did I come across as a fanboy in my post?  As much as I enjoy my Playstation 3, the experience I've had with my 360 is far superior.  Besides, ALL main Persona games have come out on a Sony platform with one exception (the first Persona was ported to Windows 95/98).  I'm no expert in Persona games, but that sounds like a clear sign for Persona to be released on ONLY the Playstation 3.  But, more recently, with the 360 being a strong console in regards to quality JRPGs, it is possible that it may come after all.

    Natal:

    • Full body tracking hugs
    • Motion controled shuffle time minigames
    • Minority report interface
    • Speech recognition conversations and persona summoning
     
    Why wouldn't it be on 360?  Atlus like money don't they?  I expect it was a PS2 exclusive last generation because it couldn't make money on the Xbox.  Now, in the west there's enough 360s and Wiis out there that even if most of them don't give a shit, there'll be a good few people who would go for some weird Japanese 90 hour story.  I would understand if they made it for PS3 in Japan and then maybe ported it to 360 while localising it for the West (is that what FFXIII is doing?).

    because I know how business works.  I'll put it this way for you.
    Atlus is a small company = not a huge amount of money 
    360 and ps3 development =  a huge amount of money 
    ps2 and psp development = kinda small amount of money

    @trophyhunter: The developement for the 360 or the PS3 does not have to cost a lot.  Only if they want the game to have gorgeous graphics and push the tech. a lot.  And the player base of the 360 or the Ps3 could potentially make the sales on those sytems more significant than on Sony's last gen. console.

    While I wouldn't be surprised if it also came to the PS2, I'd much prefer it to be on a console of this generation, if it's PS3, X360 or both doesn't bother me. Just bring it to this generation damnit!

    The correct answer is all of them, or PS2. They either have to go whole-hog or play it safe.

    I think it'll only be on the PS3 but hopefully after a while it will come to the 360. I want to play P5 damn it!
     
    Or maybe I'll just buy a PS3 slim.

    I should have voted for both. I don't want to keep a series this good to myself! No WIi, though. Atlus doesn't have the funds for more than one version, and downgrading the graphics is extra work.  
     
    But, guys... wasn't it already announced that it's coming out on PS3? Probably as an exclusive? (I didn't recheck)

    Ha-ha, if Atlus brings back the evokers, then I'm down with either Natal or Sony motion control for the title.  I'd love to stick my hand poised like a pistol against the side of my head to summon my on screen character's persona attack.  "Orpheus!" click-BOOM! ;-D

    But a 360 releasewould be good. (Because all I own now is my ps2/360/pc). I would assume they would do a 360/PS3 at the least.

    360 if Atlus loves money. PS3 and 360 if Atlus REALLY loves money. PS3 if Atlus is loyal.

    PS2.  Why do I say this? 
     
    Well, look at the money that Atlus has raked in by developing on a platform that is over 10 years old.  Moreover, look at the fact that they are an incredibly small company, and releasing a Persona game on a next-gen console means an increase in budget that they may not see a return on.  I would much rather them develop a game on a platform they know well and provide an excellent experience than take a chance that could end up being bad news for them.

    Although I'd love to see it on the 360 or PS3, I think it ends up on the PS2/Wii/PSP because of lower development costs and the possibility of reusable assets.

    i would want it on ps3 and it probable is going to be on the ps3 too (it does make the most sense..)  (but i could see a psp, ds, or 360 version...)
     
    Also for the people that think atlus doesnt have the $ to get persona on the ps3 (or 360) they are moving demons souls over to the ps3 for the US and EU releases and i know it doesnt cost as much as making it but it shows that they are willing to put it on a current gen console.

    The PS3 or PSP (in other wordsm whatever I've got). Though the PS2 was a great console, it's time it's laid to rest. It has sung it's swansong with Persona 4. No more!
